Amcor has again been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI): Australia Index, recognised for its commitment to environmental, social and governance sustainability performance.

Amcor ranked within the top 12 per cent of the packaging and containers industry, reaffirming its leadership position in the sector.

“This recognition is particularly meaningful to us – not only because it happens in the country in which we were founded 165 years ago, but also because it highlights our progress in providing responsible packaging that benefits both our customers and the Earth,” said Tracey Whitehead, Amcor’s global head of investor relations.

“We remain steadfast in driving innovative change and revolutionising product design across a wide range of materials to deliver more sustainable packaging solutions for our customers.”

Amcor offers a range of innovative, differentiating flexible and rigid packaging, specialty cartons, closures and services.

The company is focused on making packaging that is increasingly recyclable, reusable, lighter weight, and made using an increasing amount of recycled content.

In an effort to shape a circular society where sustainable consumption and recycling become the norm, Amcor strives to advance its leadership in innovation and sustainability through partnerships and strategic investments across the value chain.
